By TT reviewer Amy L. Turpin

Rem Q'an Tal has been searching for his Sacred Mate since he was freed from marriage to a woman not meant for him, without success. The mighty warrior is showing the strain of a Trystoni male without a Sacred Mate, the one woman in the entire galaxy who can complete him. The change starting to transform him is frightening, to say the least.

As he quests to the fifth dimension, to Earth, he finally has success. Only finding his Sacred Mate is almost enough to push him over the edge to madness. His "wee wife" is the very picture of the Goddess he worships and Rem is enchanted, to say the least. His wife, the almost-spinster Giselle McKenzie, is covered from head to toe in the most bedeviling "spots!"

Giselle is not sure what to think about the giant warrior who has claimed her as his wife. The bouts of near-madness he endures are enough to wrench her heart, but, being the attentive if exasperated wife, she soon finds the cure for his ailment. What she cannot deal with is the fascination with her freckles every man she comes across seems to have once she leaves Earth!

Although she neither understands everything happening to her or why her feelings for this gentle-giant are growing with every passing minute in his presence, she knows she loves him with her very being. She knows this man would do anything to keep her safe. When he leaves her to go help his brother and best friend fight the very creature he almost became, even though she has her misgivings, she says nothing. She can only hope she has the courage to save his family.

For sure, a bewitching sequel to 'The Empress' New Clothes." I was hooked from the first! Ms. Black's style is endearing and she writes with outstanding humor. There were other stories within this work, some simply touched on enough to get the reader's attention, others more in-depth. Even though I am looking forward to reading those stories, which I'm sure was the author's intention; I found it distracted from the main story somewhat. Overall, this book was an outstanding read and is recommended for the lover of science fiction and romantica, or for anyone simply looking for something as humorous as it is fantastical!

What can I say about Jaid Black's books??? Two words "Yummy Yummy"!! My three favorite characters are Rem, Kil and Cam. So I can't wait for Kil's and Cam's story. Now "No Mercy" is Rem's story and his quest to find his sacred mate before his transformation. From a far he finds Giselle on her date with a loser so that she can finally get rid of her virginity. Her date with Mr. Loser becomes a date from hell courtesy of Rem. (Oh, that was sooooo good) When Rem finally abducts her and gives the necklace, then their adventure begins. Can't give too much away but all I can say is that I wish I had spots...

This is the second book I've read from Ms. Black and can't wait for the next ones...Readers, read her books outside in below zero temperatures because her books are soooo hot:) Or maybe read her books naked standing infront of the air con...

This is that type of erotica that "lifts your senses".
You can enjoy the story for what it is. There is too
much reality going on. We need to enjoy the read for
w/o worry or stress. Just let go.

After reading Jaid Black's the Empress' New Clothes, I decided to read Rem's story, No Mercy. I guess its kind of hard to come back and top the original Trek Mi Q'an book and I skipped Dak and Geris' story Seized because so much of it was told in the Empress' New Clothes.

After several unsuccessful attempts at finding his life mate, Rem is slowing starting to devolve into a blood thirsty monster who will live on human flesh from lack of nurturing from a lifemate. Thankfully, Rem finally finds his mate, Giselle in modern day Australia. Giselle, a 36 year old red headed freckled virgin, is on a date with a slob but she is so desperate to lose her virginity that any guy will do. In the middle of dinner she starts hearing an animal growling everytime her date touches her. After her date gets impaled with a fork, Giselle drops him off at the hospital and goes back home to find herself kidnapped by a 7 and a half foot gorgeous blond giant with glowing blue eyes who worships her and all her spots (freckles). She feels all his emotions and realizes that he is on the verge of changing into something dangerous and only she can save him. Before long, they are mated and on their way to his home planet they crash and must trek through unknown terrain in order to reach a portal to take them home. Along the way Giselle is subjected to humiliating experiences when one village has a law she must be naked and leashed at all times. Eventually though the pair find happiness and contintment but then a new threat arrives.

I don't know why but this book kind of feels like the author just kind of threw a story together for Rem, without regards to making it original and fun like her previous story. She did throw in the devolving matter, but it just kind of seemed dumb. It lacked the passion and humor of its predecessor and just felt like demeaning, unemotional over the top sex. Without the real emotional feeling of the other book, it is just a sad imitation.

I found the book annoying for example the so-called hero had these episodes where he could only be calmed by sucking at the heroine's breasts,most of the situations were demeaning to both sexes ,there was very little genuine tenderness or feeling. If it was meant to be Science Fiction it was a flop, witness the scene where the woman gives birth to an egg that contained their children, as for erotica, it left me feeling kind of queasy - in one village the women were not only forced to go around naked they also had to wear collars and leashes ,in another section they had to sit with their legs wide open exposing themselves, I guess it caters more to the bondage crowd,but to me the prose itself seemed rather unimaginative and juvenile.I guess this really does come down to personal preferences

I don't think it was so bad because i'm seeing the low ratings. I did like the way they met but i also felt that it took too long for them to meet the family because in the other 2 books before it kind of felt like a family affair everyone interacting together and getting to know each other. But overall i like the the story.

I love this series, so far in the order provided with this being my least favorite so far. That being said I loved it was typical J.B you go from laugh out loud to hot and bothered within minuets. I liked Rem and Geselle and enjoyed there journey. Its worth the read if youre a fan of this series!
;)
Serioulsy this series is HOTTT

Rem has despaired of ever finding his real Sacred Mate. Rem's brothers and friends are concern about Rem devolving. If he doesn't find his Sacred Mate soon he will do just that. Rem had been trick into believing another was his Sacred Mate and had endure endless years with a women that could not and would not fulfill him. So his friend Death and his brother Kil convince Rem to search Earth for his mate. Kil cannot accompany the others but he entrust Rem's safety to Death.

Giselle has despaired of ever finding a man that will marry her. She is tired of being a virgin and takes steps to rid herself of her virginit. The man she picks leaves much to be desired but he is the only one available and Giselle will not give up. When the dinner were this is suppose to happen ends with Giselle's fork is inexplicably planted between the man eyes Giselle realizes that she has lost. She thinks.

Rem has found his mate and he will not let her go, literally. Giselle is not sure of the man who has kidnapped her but hse is unwiling to anger him. She also has a unique way of keeping him calm.

You will laugh and cheer as these two grow to love each other.

I am not sure if this book lived up to the 1st book's appeal. I would have liked to see the couple have their first "bonding" at the orgy-like event that was in the first book. That scene was missing, and I hope she continues to bring it to her future books.

Rem is not as well-developed as the first book's hero, but we feel like we already know him - so it's alright. He is super-sexed!!! I'd absolutely love to have all the sex that Giselle is "forced" to have with Rem. Her "ride" on him as he walks the planet was inspiring.

If there is anything about the book I didn't like, it would probably be all the pacifier nipple munching. That aside, WHAT A UNIVERSE TO VISIT!

This was an awesome book. Anyone who loves Jaid Black will love it.I am hooked on the story line of the Trek Mi Quan Series. She is a very talented writter.
